I can second your appreciation for Zero Tolerance. It's an absolutely fantastic game, especially when you consider the time it was released. The fact that they pulled it off on a system like the Genesis is simply jaw-dropping.
Sadly my Mega Drive (UK version of the Genesis) died a little while back and I'm left with just the ROM, which doesn't quite *feel* right for some reason.
It's a shame Technopop are no longer with us. An update of this on modern hardware would have been wonderful.
As I see it they don't actually need reasonable grounds to kill an account. Access to the ICQ system is a privilege not a right so where the laws apply doesn't really matter to Mirabilis/AOL. They are well within their rights to cancel your account whenever they get the urge (even over something as dumb as this). However, I still find it hugely irritating that users here in England could be losing their accounts over a law that doesn't apply in this country, but there really isn't anything we can do about it anyway, other than make out feelings know.
Seriously though, if these guy really pulled this off I'm impressed. They put in an huge amount of work and money for what, by todays standards, is a pretty slow processor, but the sheer lunacy of it all has to be enough to impress anyone...It really was quite an achievment.
Pentium means five. FIVE. Not six, seven or eight... FIVE! How many of the general public are actually going to realise that? Intel has 'worked' very hard to make Pentium a household name, and has clearly done so. It would be stupid (no matter how ridiculous their numbering system is becoming) for them to suddenly change the name.

You can also add a file called autoexec.cfg to your quake/id1 directory, and put you +mlook in there, along with any other similar commands.
Hey spanky, read the fucking article, bitch.
Ha ha ha! That was funny, homeslice! MOD THIS UP EVEN MORE!!!! He bashed Windows! Har har har. Slashdot sucks my fucking hairy balls.
Sure, this is a possibility, but Italian tanks only have a reverse gear.
Mod this the hell up! It's about time these arrogant nerd types realised that NOBODY IS IMPRESSED! This is meant for fucking school age kids. Pricks.

What did they do for afters, build a potato powered webserver or overclock a 486 to 247mhz using a fridge full of alcohol (a la totl.net)? Am I the only one who doesn't quite believe this?

Personally, now, I don't trust the cellphone companies as far as I can spit a rat.
